Medical Referrals for Voice:

Some kinds of vocal difficulty may require medical attention. See an otolaryngologist (a doctor who specializes in working with the ear, nose, and throat, also called an ENT) to get a proper diagnosis. Often they will "scope" you, which involves sending a small camera into your throat to see what is really happening. 

If the doctor's diagnosis warrants it, a speech pathologist may work with you afterwards to help you learn how to manage and improve your condition. 

Dr. Reena Gupta: Otolaryngologist, Osborne Head & Neck Institute, Cedars Sinai Medical Towers. Dr. Gupta is one of the rare ENT's who specializes in the voice: webpage

Other Healing Work:

Castellino Training: I have attended two five-day Womb Surround workshops with Ray Castellino, and a workshop with a certified teacher of this work (Sarah Theismann). Ray’s pre- and perinatal work is extraordinary and can be highly relevant for public speaking and voice. www.castellinotraining.com
